Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here are my thoughts.

There is a history of persistent swelling in the right temporal area which increases and also gives pain on exercising indicate one of the reasons for possible symptoms.
Vascular that is arterio-venous fistula; this increases on exercises as the blood supply is increased to this area causing it to enlarge and cause pain also.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get an appointment of a Surgeon for clinical examination.
Ultrasonography with color doppler can give fairly correct diagnosis as to why is the problem.
Rarely MRI Angiography may be needed to get a confirmed diagnosis so that a proper management can be planned, surgery if needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
